The key to nailing Copencore is balancing minimalism with a hint of edge. It is all about the “I just woke up like this” vibe but with attitude. 

Some mayor takeaways tips on styling Copenhagen street style that baggy trousers are here to stay and should be worn with sharp, tight or see-through tops. The color of the season is monochromatic as it is encouraged to wear neutral colors, no need for over the top colors to stand out even though this season we saw a lot of color clashing pieces on the runway. Tailor pieces are a must have, a neutral tone waistcoat matches perfectly with everything as it can be worn in multiple ways. 

Danish style has always been synonymous with functionality and minimalism, often words that might be associated with boring. But as we saw this couldn’t be further from the truth as the relaxed, effortless approach to Scandi style encompasses today's biggest trends in the most fashionable way.
